Comment: Right on time, when Homeland Security head Chertoff says
there will be an attack, and top Neo-Cons as well as military analysts
are inviting one in order to "save a doomed foreign policy,"
the Taliban and Al-Qaeda pop up and promise to deliver for their bosses.

As senior intelligence and law enforcement officials met again today
in the White House Situation Room to deal with the "summer terror
threat," a top terror commander said an attack was coming that
would dwarf the failed bombings in London and Glasgow.

Taliban military commander Mansour Dadullah, in an interview broadcast
on ABC News' "World News With Charles Gibson," said the London
attacks were "not enough" and that bigger attacks were coming.

"You will, God willing, be witness to more attacks," he told
a Pakistani journalist in an interview conducted just four days ago.

Just last month, Dadullah presided over what was termed a terror training
camp graduation ceremony in Pakistan, supposedly dispatching attack
teams to the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Germany.

In this new interview, Dadullah talked about the ease with which he
and his men operate inside Pakistan.

"We have many friends," he said. "It is very easy for
us to go in and out of the tribal areas. It is no problem."

Indeed, the rugged mountains of Pakistan have emerged as a safe haven
for al Qaeda and the Taliban.

"They are the central front for al Qaeda," said Seth Jones,
who studies the area for the RAND Corporation, a national security think-tank.
"They are the area al Qaeda has based its international and regional
operations. It is a very serious threat to the U.S. security,"
he said.

Pakistan continues to deny al Qaeda enjoys a safe haven in its territory.

"The problem is people don’t understand the local environment,"
the Pakistani ambassador to the United States, Mahmud Ali Durrani, told
the Blotter on ABCNews.com.

"Pakistan is doing more than its share. We have done a lot, we
have captured a lot, we've killed a lot, and we continue to do it not
just for your sake, but more so for our own sake," he said.

In testimony before Congress this week, U.S. intelligence officials
were straightforward in saying they believe Osama bin Laden is in Pakistan
and freely operating there.

"It's not that we lack the ability to go into that space,"
said Tom Fingar of the office of the Director of National Intelligence.

"But we have chosen not to do so without the permission of the
Pakistani government," Fingar told members of Congress who demanded
to know why the U.S. did not take more decisive action against a known
enemy.

U.S. officials say Pakistan consistently denies the U.S. military permission
to go after known al Qaeda training camps.

The situation has grown even worse since February, officials say, when
Vice President Dick Cheney traveled to Islamabad to demand Pakistani
President Pervez Musharraf take action.

"Their (al Qaeda's) situation is actually better today than it
was even then," said the RAND Corporation's Jones.

"The U.S. has provided $5.6 billion in coalition support funds
to Pakistan over the past five years, with zero accountability,"
said Congressman Patrick Murphy, D-Calif., at the hearing.

"Why is Pakistan still being paid these large sums of money, even
after publicly declaring that it is significantly cutting back patrols
in the most important border area?" he asked.
